CAIRO,Egypt – Al-Qaida No. 2 Ayman al-Zawahri insulted Barack Obama in the terror group's first reaction to his election, calling him a demeaning racial term implying that the president-elect is a black American who does the bidding of whites.

The message appeared chiefly aimed at persuading Muslims and Arabs that Obama does not represent a change in U.S. policies. Al-Zawahri said in the message, which appeared on militant Web sites Wednesday, that Obama is "the direct opposite of honorable black Americans" like Malcolm X, the 1960s African-American rights leader.

Al-Zawahri also called Obama — along with secretaries of state Colin Powell and Condoleezza Rice — "house negroes."

Speaking in Arabic, al-Zawahri uses the term "abeed al-beit," which literally translates as "house slaves." But al-Qaida supplied English subtitles of his speech that included the translation as "house negroes."

The message also includes old footage of speeches by Malcolm X in which he explains the term, saying black slaves who worked in their white masters' house were more servile than those who worked in the fields. Malcolm X used the term to criticize black leaders he accused of not standing up to whites.

The 11-minute 23-second video features the audio message by al-Zawahri, who appears only in a still image, along with other images, including one of Obama wearing a Jewish skullcap as he meets with Jewish leaders. In his speech, al-Zawahri refers to a Nov. 5 U.S. airstrike attack in Afghanistan, meaning the video was made after that date.

Al-Zawahri said Obama's election has not changed American policies he said are aimed at oppressing Muslims and others.

"America has put on a new face, but its heart full of hate, mind drowning in greed, and spirit which spreads evil, murder, repression and despotism continue to be the same as always," the deputy of al-Qaida chief Osama bin Laden said.

He said Obama's plan to shift troops to Afghanistan is doomed to failure, because Afghans will resist.

"Be aware that the dogs of Afghanistan have found the flesh of your soldiers to be delicious, so send thousands after thousands to them," he said.

Al-Zawahri did not threaten specific attacks, but warned Obama that he was "facing a Jihadi (holy war) awakening and renaissance which is shaking the pillars of the entire Islamic world; and this is the fact which you and your government and country refuse to recognize and pretend not to see."

He said Obama's victory showed Americans acknowledged that President George W. Bush's policies were a failure and that the result was an "admission of defeat in Iraq."

But Obama's professions of support for Israel during the election campaign "confirmed to the Ummah (Islamic world) that you have chosen a stance of hostility to Islam and Muslims," al-Zawahri said.

The PC(Politically Correct)force is now after the Muslims. Maybe they can do what the military couldn't. Al-Quaida terrorists meet the PC terrorists. This should be interesting. And just wait until the feminazis go after the Muslims.

Does this mean that those in Al-Quaida are racists? And just what race are the Muslims?

This story is probably a "plant" by the Obama crowd hoping to gain him some "cred" in dealing with muslins. If the muslins dislike him....he must not be one.....very clever, those Obama guya are,,,very clever.

(this is an attempt at humor---no need for all the Obama lovers to flame me)

I don't think anyone thought they'd be happy, they despise us no matter what, arguably they might be somewhat more emboldened by a man they might feel inexperienced and unprepared to stomach casualties, so they might try the ol' Joe Biden litmus test on him before long.

I think it is safe to say the "usual suspects" would come out with such a statement no matter who was elected. They hate us and are going to no matter what we do. I have every confidence that Obama will not be kowtowing to these murderers as President. It seems to me that that's what they are afraid of.

1 . At the beginning of the trial, once more the brothers must insist on proving that torture was inflicted on them by State Security [investigators ]before the judge.

2. Complain [to the court] of mistreatment while in prison.

3. Make arrangements for the brother&#8217;s defense with the attorney, whether he was retained by the brother&#8217;s family or court-appointed.

4. The brother has to do his best to know the names of the state security officers, who participated in his torture and mention their names to the judge.[These names may be obtained from brothers who had to deal with those officers in previous cases.]

5. Some brothers may tell and may be lured by the state security investigators to testify against the brothers [i.e. affirmation witness ], either by not keeping them together in the same prison during the trials, or by letting them talk to the media. In this case, they have to be treated gently, and should be offered good advice, good treatment, and pray that God may guide them.

6. During the trial, the court has to be notified of any mistreatment of the brothers inside the prison.

What's ironic about this is that liberals have been calling people like Condoleezza Rice and Colin Powell "house Negroes" for some years now. Maybe the Left needs a new aphorism: "One man's terrorist is another man's liberal."

The wonder is that people thought that religious fanatics would support a godless communist in the first place.

I think you and the others have somehow completely missed the huge, pink point sitting in the living room... they preferred Obama precisely because they figured him as weak and easily bullied. Now that he's won, the pretense of "he'll heal the world!" can be dropped, and the real agenda of testing his intestinal fortitude can begin...

And for the record, they consider Jew and Christian alike to be "godless" kufars...religion has always been nothing more than a pretext for their aims. And their aim is power...under the banner of a twisted version of their own religion. And there's nothing like the smell of power in the morning - especially in the form of a twisted version of a religion that grants the state the authority to execute a 13 year old girl for the "crime" of being raped.
